Declination: Compass Shows The Magnetic Bearing of The Magnetic North (MN)

The document provides information about magnetic declination including the date, location coordinates, elevation, and model used to calculate the declination of 8° 55' E that is changing by 0° 6' W per year with an uncertainty of 0° 19'. Magnetic declination is the angle between true north and the local magnetic field, with present day field models generally accurate within 30 minutes of arc.

Uncertainty 0° 19' magnetic north (MN)

Magnetic declination is the angle between true north and the horizontal trace of the

local magnetic field. In general, the present day field models such as the IGRF and

World Magnetic Model (WMM) are accurate to within 30 minutes of arc for the

declination. However, local anomalies exceeding 10 degrees, although rare, do exist.
